RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THIRD PARTY?S SOFTWARE AND SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR
YOUR USE OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE.
In consideration of the rights and licenses granted below, Licensee hereby
agrees as follows:
DEFINITIONS
"API," or application programming interface, means the specific method
prescribed by a
computer operating system or by another application program (such as
RealSystem Server) by which a programmer writing an application program
(such as a plugin) can make requests of the operating system or another
application.
"Break Interoperability" means to: (i) Transcode, Convert or Encapsulate RN
Media Files; and/or
(ii) to impair or disable programs or applications that have been licensed
by RN to create, access, or utilizeuse RN Media Files by exposing a means or
method by which such programs or applications access or utilizeuse RN Media
Files.
"Code" means the APIs, Header Files, and Sample from the SDK, collectively.
"Compromise Interoperability" means exposing a means or method (including,
but not limited to,
publicly defined interfaces or debugging information left in a Licensee
Application) by which other programs, plug-ins, or applications can access
or utilizeuse: (i) the function of any part of this SDK or the RealPlayer;
or (ii) Content extracted from RN Media Content.
"Content" means digital audio (including, but not limited to,
timeline-synchronized audio, music,
voice, or sounds), digital video, and other digital information including
data, text (including, but not limited to, script command data and related
metadata such as a song title or an artist?s name), animation, graphics,
photographs, and artwork, and combinations of any or all of the foregoing.
"Convert" means: : (i) to decompose RN Media Content into one or more pieces
of Content, and
then to recompose into any form other than RN Media Content; or (ii) to
remove any DRM protection from RN Media Content for any purpose not
explicitly authorized by the DRM Flags of the license for that Content,
including, but not limited to, writing that unprotected DRM Content to disk
or to a network.
"Copy Switch Bit" is the flag in the file header of RN Media Files that is
set when the files are
encoded and indicates whether the content creator has authorized duplication
of its content.
"Digital Rights Management Systems" or "DRMs" are plugins to, or components
of, certain RN
Client and server products designed to manage and enforce intellectual
property rights in digital content, including RN?s proprietary digital
rights management software that enables enforcement of business rules and
license-based access to RN Media Files, consistent with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
"Encapsulate" means to place any form of containment around or to remove
such containment
from any portion or entirety of Content in RN Media Files, with the
exception of standard file-system and network protocol containment not
specific to the form or function of any digital media playing software. For
purposes of this definition of "Encapsulate," example protocol and standard
file- system exceptions include, but are not limited to, the Windows File
Allocation Table file system, and the TCP/IP network protocol.
"Header File" means a text file that defines the interfaces available to a
programmer. A Header
File contains APIs. At the time of SDK installation, the Header Files are
located in the subfolder named "include" in the folder named "rmasdk."
"Licensee Application" means the software application developed by Licensee
that uses the APIs
and the Header Files contained in the SDK, or any part of this SDK, and may
include the Sample. Licensee Application may not be designed for or intended
to be used as a replacement of the SDK for use by third parties to develop
other software products or programs (e.g., software development tools).
"New Version" means any update, upgrade, and any and all corrections,
modifications,
enhancements, bug fixes, or successor versions of the SDK issued by RN
during the Term, and any update, upgrade, and any and all corrections,
modifications, enhancements, bug fixes, or successor versions to the
Licensee Application created by Licensee during the Term.
"RN AutoUupdate Serviceystem" means the method by which, in the RealSystem,
end users can
elect to receive automatic plugin updates to their RealPlayer or RealJukebox
software.
"RN Client" means any RN client application used for playing multimedia,
including RealPlayer,
RealJukebox and RealDownload and any future versions.
"RN Marks" means RealAudio�, RealVideo�, RealPlayer�, RealSystem�,
RealSystem� Server,
RealJukebox�, and such other trademarks or registered trademarks of RN, as
RN may make available to Licensee from time to time.
"RN Media File(s)" or "RN Media Content" means any Content encoded in
RealAudio, RealVideo,
or any other RN codec or secured by the RN DRM, including any file with the
.ra, .rms, or .rm file format, and also includes without limitation, audio,
video or other media, as applicable.
"RN MIME Type" means the MIME registry, browser preferences, or local
file/protocol associations
invoking any RN Client application for playback of RealAudio, RealVideo, RN
DRM, other RealMedia MIME types or datatypes (e.g., .ram, .rnx, .rpm, .ra,
.rm, .rp, .rt, .rf, .prx, .mpe, .rmp, .rmj, .rav, .rjs, .rmx, .rjt, .rms),
other RN-specific or proprietary MIME types that RN may introduce in the
future, or any MIME types or file/protocol associations that can be played
back by an RN Client. For the purposes of this Agreement, "MIME type" means
a description of what type of media or other content is in a file, including
by way of example but not limited to 'audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin.?
"Sample" means the sample plugin included in the SDK, which, at the time of
SDK installation, is
located in the sub-folder named "sample" in the folder named "rmasdk."
"Transcode" means to alter the current encoding or form of music files that
was decoded from its
original form, including by way of example but not limited to: (i)
decompression of an audio or video stream and recompression using a
different compression algorithm; and (ii) decompression of an audio or video
stream and recompression using the same compression algorithm but with
different settings. "Transcode" includes Converting.
LICENSE TO DEVELOP
License Grant. Subject to the provisions contained herein, RN hereby grants
Licensee a limited,
non-exclusive, royalty-free license to install and use the SDK solely for
the purpose of developing a Licensee Application.
Integration of Sample with Licensee Application. RN grants Licensee a
limited, non-exclusive,
nontransferable, royalty-free license to use, modify, adapt, and reproduce
the Sample solely as an integrated component of the Licensee Application.
Use of APIs and Integration of Header Files with Licensee Application. RN
grants Licensee a
limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use but not reproduce the APIs
and use and reproduce the compiled object code versions of the unmodified
Header Files solely as integrated components of the Licensee Application.
SDK Use. Licensee will only use the SDK on a single computer or on its
internal computer
network, providing that each person accessing the SDK through the network
abides by this Agreement. Licensee may download the online documentation, if
any, in conjunction with the SDK, but may not make further copies of any
printed or electronically transmitted materials accompanying the SDK.
Limitations on Licensee Application. Licensee Application must be designed,
developed, and
tested to function with a RN commercial server and not degrade or in any way
impair the functionality of any RN product. The SDK may not be used to
develop a Licensee Application that:
encodes, serves, or plays a file format competitive to any RN file format,
as determined by RN in
its sole discretion;
Transcodes RN media files into any other file format or is used as part of a
system that
Transcodes RN media files into any other file format;
contains any third party product or any Licensee product that is competitive
with an RN product;
markets or sells competitive products to RN product end users;
exposes or otherwise makes available to other applications or third parties
any media files stored
on the end user?s computer hard drive;
contains any code that disrupts, disables, harms, or otherwise impedes the
operation of RN
products or any other software, firmware, hardware, computer system or
network (sometimes referred to as "viruses" or "worms");
accesses any end user's computer to disable or impair any end user's
software or hardware
(sometimes referred to as "traps," "access codes" or "trap door" devices),
or to track such end user?s behavior;
contains any other similar harmful, malicious or hidden procedures, routines
or mechanisms
which would damage or corrupt data, storage media, programs, equipment or
communications, or otherwise interfere with operations; or
has any autoupdate functionality independent of the RN AutoUpdate Service.
The SDK further may not be used in any way to create software that serves,
downloads, delivers, or distributes audio, video, or other media files
across the Internet or any computer network, or that uses any SDK component
to encode content.
Interoperability. Licensee shall not develop or have developed any Licensee
Application which
Breaks Interoperability or Compromises Interoperability. Licensee may not
expose any of the APIs in this SDK to any other application or person, and
may not use or include any part of this SDK as part of any other software
development kit without the express written approval of a RN vice president.
Use of RN MIME Types. Licensee Application will not change the RN MIME
Types. Licensee may
not create any Licensee Application that plays back any RN Media Content.
Licensee Applications must comply with the file extension and metafile usage
and format requirements and guidelines as provided by RN in this Agreement,
as may be modified upon reasonable notice from RN from time to time.
Licensee will not suggest to the end user that it may change, or otherwise
encourage the user to change, the default player to be used with such files,
or any other files or RN MIME Types for which an RN Client is set as the end
user?s default player, without RN's prior written consent. For any other
non-RN MIME types for which the RN Client is not currently set as the end
user?s default player, but that can be played back by an RN Client, Licensee
agrees that it will not change the MIME registry, browser preferences,
protocol associations, or local file associations invoking an RN Client
without first presenting the user with a dialog box or sequence of dialog
boxes informing them of the fact that they already have the RN Client as the
default player for such files and of the consequences of making a change and
asking the user whether the user wants to change the default player. Such
communication will not state or imply that there is a problem with
continuing to use the RN Client. When asking for permission to become the
default program Licensee shall provide to the user an explanation of any
limitations on Licensee's program's ability to read and/or write the type(s)
of files that Licensee is proposing to take by default. If Licensee's
program encounters a specific file that it cannot read or play, and if the
RN Client does play that file, Licensee will point the user to information
on how he or she can download the RN Client.
Copy Switch Bit. Licensee Application must detect and abide by the intent
and setting of the Copy
Switch Bit before attempting to make a digital recording of RN Media Files.
DRMs. DRMs included in, compatible with, or later added to RN Clients may be
able to prevent
Licensee Application?s ability to use RN Content protected by the DRM. The
Licensee Application may not take any action to circumvent or defeat the
security or content usage rules provided or enforced by either the DRM or
any RN Client product. To ensure Licensee Application compatibility with
DRMs requires development with a separate RN software development kit, and
the signing of a separate RN license agreement.
Privacy Requirements. In the event that Licensee, through the Licensee
Application or any
individual component thereof, desires to communicate with, track end user
information of, or collect any personally identifiable information from an
end user of the Licensee Application, Licensee will:
post its privacy statement applicable to the Licensee Application/component
on its website;
clearly disclose to end users what information is being collected;
enable end users to opt-out of receiving emails or other communications
resulting from the
information that is collected;
clearly disclose any communications or tracking features (including
anonymous tracking across
websites) and allow users to opt out of such features;
receive explicit opt-in consent from each end user for any personally
identifiable information,
including personally identifiable tracking information, that is collected
from such end user; and
not sell, rent or disclose to third parties any personally identifiable
information collected from end
users in connection with the Licensee Application/component without the end
user's express consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee will be free to use such information
collected from users in order to inform such users of specific security
problems, system problems, patches necessary to ensure proper operation of
the system and the like, or for customer service purposes, unless an end
user has opted-out of receiving further emails or other communications from
Licensee. Licensee will not use any information which personally identifies,
selects, or categorizes end users as users of the RN products, and will not
gather, track or otherwise collect information concerning a user?s specific
uses of RN products.

will be construed to (a) give either party the power to direct and control
the activities of the other; (b) constitute the parties as partners, joint
venturers, co-owners or otherwise as participants in a joint undertaking; or
(c) allow either party to create or assume any obligation on behalf of the
other party for any purpose whatsoever. Each party is solely responsible for

payments on behalf of its agents, contractors, and employees in connection
with this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified except in writing

waive subsequent defaults by such party of the same or a different kind. If

such provision will be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it
enforceable, and such decision will not affect the enforceability (i) of
such provision under other circumstances, or (ii) of the remaining
provisions hereof under all circumstances. The failure of any party to
enforce any of the provisions hereof will not be construed to be a waiver of
the right of such party thereafter to enforce such provisions. Any and all

and not exclusive of any remedy conferred hereby or by law, and the exercise
of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other. Headings will
